PROHIBITION ALL WRONG.
Poverty, immortality and Low Civilization
Found Among Total Abstainers,

Poverty, immortality and Low Civilization
Found Among Total Abstainers.
DR.. McGlynH's address in NclU York.
"As a matter Of history, we find that
people who have been the best total alb
~stainerS have been low in civilization. We
find them in poverty and vice and polyg-
amy. Every MOhametan abstains from
alcoholic liquors because the Koran di-
reefs it, but would you hold up that as
the civilization to be emulated? The most
grinding poverty is found among those who
are total abstainers. There is no mention
of drink in the Song of the Shirt and that
might be sung by thousands within a mile
of this very hall. Ny twenty-one years in
St Stephens brought me into the houses
of the poor, and l found that the trouble
was not caused by liquor, but arose be-
cause the reward of labor was not enough
to enable them to do more than keep body
and soul together. Then poverty, and not
drink, breeds disease. Who fills the in-
sane asylums? Not the drinkers, but
farmers wives. They are there in the
greatest numbers in proportion to their
number in the census.
Il for one, join with you in denouncing
the abuse Of liquor, but / never will Join
in such an abuse of personal liberty as will
say to my neighbOr that he may not do q
thing not prohibited by the law of God.
L this prohibition is, as many of us sus-
peet, an infraCtion of the inalienable right
OF man, then it is a dangerous thing to in
troduce into the constitution. II think the
State has but a very limited I.Lat in such
matters. The State has no right to punish
a man for a vice which is between him and
his God only. If it does not affect his
neighbor, then it is not q matter for State
action. l doubt whether the State has
a right to punish man for getting drunk
in his " bedroom, if the State finds
it out from some peeping servant. Laugh
ter. The man who does not use liquor
is not necessarily a sage or a saint. Pro
hibition would be a good thing for society,
but it would be a grave question whether
we ought to do q good thing and at the
same time do a greater evil, for it would

THE PERFECTED pHoNOGRAPH.

THE PERFECTED PHONOGRAPH.
Mr.. THOMAS Edison has got a new
wrinkle into his ~phOnograph, the wonder
fol speaking machine. He has, after as
siduous work, perfected it so that it will
be q very useful adjunct TO the business
Office. He told 3 reporter the other day
that the commercial ~phOnograph, which
he has succeeded in perfecting, is the most
important of his inventions. lie says
that the apparatus is 80 simple, so efFec-
tive, and so Immediately useful that he is
certain of its rapid Introduction into bust
nesS-far more certain than be was of the
general adoption Of the telephone as a
business instrument.
Mr.. Edison says that the operation Of
his commercial ~phOnOgraph is simplicity
itself, and cannot fail, aud he expects it
to be part Of the equipment in every
business office. According to the inventor,
the merchant OF clerk who wishes to send
q letter has only to set the machine in
motion, talk in the natural voice and at
the usual rate Of speed into the receiver.
When he has finished the sheet, or
~''Phonogram, " it is ready to send through
the mails, where his correspondent places
it in u ~phOnograph and griuds out the
message much more distinctly and aecu-
rately than messages can be sent over the
telephone.
Mr.. EDISON says that one tremendous
advantage is that the message may be re-
peated q thousand times if necessary.
Moreover, printers may set up copy from
the photograph, and people may enjoy
concerts by means Of the same invention,
and what is once seized is practically indie
structible. Mr.. EDISON says:

The Ashland Murder-General and Per-
sonal Items.
Special Correspondence of The Sunday Register.
STEUBENvILLE, OHIO, November s.
Nothing has occurred abroad for many a
year that caused such genuine sorrow and
regret in this city az the murder of w. II.
Reynolds, which occurred at Nankin, in
Ashland county, last Saturday morning.
Mr.. Reynolds LETT this city for Ashland in
1888. He purchased the controlling in
terest in the Ashland Times, and by his en-
ergy, ability and pluck placed it among
the strong and prosperous Republican pa
pers of this State. He had strong convic-
lions and the courage to declare them, and
by his course, while he made many warm
and earnest friends, naturally made some
enemies. This resulted in a portion Of the
Republican party of Ashland county be-
coming dissatisfied with his course, and an
opposition Republican paper to the Times
was started. J. r. Mason, the man who
committed the murder, and his broth
er, J. D. Mason, who was con-
cerned in the quarrel which Gull
minated in the shooting, were part pro-
prietors of this new paper, and Of course
there was bad feeling between them and
the murdered man. Added to this the
fact that Mr.. Reynolds had exposed some
Questionable actions on the part Of ]. +.
Mason, caused him to entertain a bitter
hatred toward him. The trial, which was
in progress at the time Of the killing, in
which j. r. Mason was seeking to recover
money on a note signed by Elias Lutz, but
which Lutz claimed had been procured by
fraud, was the result Of one of these expos,
ures, and Mr.. Reynolds was an important
witness for the defendant. The fact that
the quarrel was provoked by J. d. Mason
calling Reynolds a s-n of b-h, and his
brother Immediately pulling q r~eyolyer

The Man, the Cat and the Rat.
Nc,o London Day.

A man was watching a halt grown cat
chasing q rat not much smaller than her
self. sic him. he cried e~ncOuragingly
to the kitten. The rat became bewildered
and, in making a dash for liberty, ran mp
the leg of the mans trousers, and kitty
followed suit, but she could not go as far
Is the rat conld, aud with sun6ry strug-
giles, accurately recorded by scratches on
the mans legs, she managed to extricate
herself from her strange predicament, and
became an interested and critical spectator
OF the remainder of the game, which was
confined exclusively to the man and the
rat. Ii is not necessary TO give a minute
account of the fight from this point, but it
will suffice to say that, with the aid of
friends, another was eventually added to
the list Of victories achieved by men over
the lower animals. The man is on exhi-
bition in proof of the truth of this story,
but the rat has Joined the majority.

DIED LYING.
Amer Green's Last Falsehood-Where Is
Luella Mabbitt.


DELPHI, IND, November At is now
plain that Amer Green, who was lynched
by a mob here ON the night of October II,
died with a lie on his lips.
IL will be remembered that his last
words were that Luella Mabbitt, the girl
he was accused of having abducted and
murdered, was alive and residing at Fort
Worth, Texas, at a friend Of Green's
named Samuel Payne.
Inquiry made ut Fort Worth by several
papers brought the report that Samuel
Payne had recently moved from there, and
that while in Fort Worth he lived with .
woman resembling closely the description
of Luella Mabbitt, and who claimed to hail
from Indianapolis. The story, while it
gained a wide circulation through the
press, was generally d%isCredited here.
Further Investigations show that no
such persons as Payne and Miss Mabbitt
ever lived at Fort Worth, and Green's
story is all n hoax.
